A review by livelyghost
The Great Displacement: Climate Change and the Next American Migration by Jake Bittle

informative sad medium-paced

3.5

I enjoyed learning more about the actions taken by local and federal governments that got us into the mess of losing housing to climate change, but was also hoping for more on what is being/could be done to get us out. Unfortunately we either don’t seem to be doing much of anything or it wasn’t a particularly strong part of the book. It definitely highlights how complex a problem housing people in general can be, and adding in shifting water and fire on top of it creates chaos that seems to make homeowners suffer the most. I was waiting for the call to action or a hopeful moment in this book, but it wasn’t much. We have plenty of work to do.
